Chapter 870: The Prince's Half-Brother

Under the night, the long street was quiet, and the red carriage slowly drove towards Peng Wangfu.

In the carriage, Xia Niang had already shrunk into Liu Jinyu's arm and fell asleep, but she spit out a bubble from time to time, and she was still naughty in her dreams.

The curtain of the car shook, flashing the night scene of Chang'an outside.

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people celebrate the day, and lanterns are hung high.

Suddenly, Li Xuan sighed inexplicably.

Liu Jinyu reached out and grabbed the back of Li Xuan's hand, and when she saw Li Xuan turn around, she asked in a low voice, "Is it General Quan's business?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty asked how to deal with General Quan, and it was okay to follow the law, but the prince interceded for General Quan. ”

The crown prince, General Zuo Weiwei, these two words were connected, and Liu Jinyu's face immediately became heavy.

Li Xuan said softly: "The prince is planning for the court to appease the army, so he hopes to punish the general Quan lightly, and it is best to punish the big admonition with a small punishment." ”

"In this way, Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to severely punish the general." A trace of sympathy flashed on Liu Jinyu's face, and he said softly: "It was originally a trivial matter that could be punished but not punished, but it was first sued by the imperial history to the court, and now there is a prince pleading, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good if you don't take off your skin." ”

The matter of Quan Shancai, as long as it is not known, then it is naturally nothing.

But once it is known, especially if it is stabbed in the court, it is a great event.

You must know that in the Zhaoling Tomb, it is not only the first emperor Taizong who is buried, but also the burial tombs of Cheng Yanjin, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Wen Yanbo, Duan Zhixuan, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, Li Jing, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Tao and other meritorious ministers, with a total of nearly 180 tombs.

The scale is large and covers an extremely wide area.

There are even the tombs of the kings of the clan and the princesses and horses, which are also in the Zhaoling.

Li Chengqian, Li Yun, Li Su, several sons of Taizong, more than a dozen princesses, and his mother concubine, and even the king of Sabao, Zampu, and the king of Silla, Nu Dezhen, are among them, which involves not only the royal family, the ministers, and even the affairs of the country.

Li Xuan doesn't know what his future will be, but Li Ming, the king of Cao, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Shen, the king of Ji, these sons of Taizong, will also be buried in Zhaoling in the future.

There is also a large group of former ministers who are still alive but are already quite old, and they will also be buried in Zhaoling in the future.

At this time, Zhaoling is at risk of being stolen, who is not in a hurry.

Now it is natural to have an explanation up and down.

"If this case is only convicted of accidentally cutting down the mausoleum, it will be fine, but if it is convicted of damaging the mausoleum and destroying luck, then it will be difficult for General Quan to even survive, I don't know how many people want him to die, I don't know how many people want to die with him." Li Xuan had a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Lang Jun is worried that someone is stirring up the storm behind this?" Liu Jinyu immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Jiuzhi Mountain is a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and it is a soldier in the army who does it, how can it be known by the Imperial History." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan shook his head and said: "The position of the general of Quan Shancai is already unstable, and now once something happens, there will be an unknown number of people eyeing this position, this is one of them; Second, there is also the leader of the powerful general, who is Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen. ”

Quan Shan is a member of the Dangxiang clan, and after being recovered by Cui Zhiwen, who was the assassin of Lanzhou at the time, he took the entire clan to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty.

Quan Shancai served several times, and was finally promoted to General Zuo Weiwei, which no one believes without Cui Zhiwen's recommendation.

Now that Quan Shancai has an accident, if Yu Shitai continues to hold on, Cui Zhiwen will be immediately involved.

"Shang Shu Zuocheng." Liu Jinyu's face was extremely ugly, and he said softly: "Someone is eyeing the position of Shangshu Zuocheng. ”

General Zuo Weiwei, Shangshu Zuo Cheng, the official positions of two people and three grades, are definitely the vast majority of people, and they have struggled all their lives, but they have not touched the slightest position.

"In the imperial history, Cui Mi made a move, and all of a sudden people didn't know who was plotting behind this?" Li Xuan couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Cui Mi is also a member of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and it stands to reason that although he and Cui Zhiwen have different positions, people of the same clan will not be so ruthless.

He was standing there, even Li Xuan didn't know who was behind him?

……

"By the way, has there been anything noteworthy in the DPRK and China recently?" Li Xuan suddenly looked at Liu Jinyu.

Although the husband and wife corresponded with each other, many things could not be explained in the letter.

Even if Li Xuan has returned to Chang'an now, he doesn't know many things in the past.

After all, many things have nothing to do with him, and they are not in the special attention of him and Liu Jinyu.

However, Liu Jinyu is in Chang'an after all, and she still has some memories of some special things.

"There's one thing." Liu Jinyu suddenly looked up at Li Xuan and said: "Lang Jun still remembers that in the letter that the concubine wrote to Lang Jun a while ago, it was mentioned that the imperial court began to check the arrears of Taichang Temple, and it was checked out from the palaces, princesses' mansions, and county princes' mansions. ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and he began to recall some details of that incident.

At the beginning, because of the huge consumption of military spending, the Empress Wu decided to check all kinds of arrears in the court, and the first thing to check was the Taichang Temple, which had the most arrears from the clan.

The Imperial Palace, the British Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the Taiping Princess's Mansion all have arrears to some extent.

The one who owes the most money is naturally the Tai Womb.

When Li Xian was still in King Yong, he did a lot of things and borrowed a lot of money from Taichang Temple, but fortunately, after he became the crown prince, Yu Lu and other money that could be called upon a lot more.

The previous arrears, after the results, were quickly included in the imperial court system, and then the imperial court allocated the advance payment.

After several embezzlements, Li Xian completely repaid the arrears.

Second only to Li Xian, it is Li Xian, Li Xian has always liked to play around, and he is extravagant, and he owes a lot of money to Taichang Temple.

However, although he likes to play around, he is not a fool, and when he gambles with others, although he loses more and wins less, he does not lose too much.

If he really lost too much, Li Xian would not have gone early.

Not to mention, he knew that he was restless and guarded himself, and the Empress Wu deliberately said hello, so although Li Xian owed a lot of money, it was still under control.

Li Xuan helped him get a batch of money back from Jinggongfang's Ball Garden, and then Li Xian was grounded.

The money has always been there, and then there was an audit, and the people in the British Royal Mansion returned the money.

Li Dan has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, and he doesn't care much about outside things, so he ...... He didn't owe money at all.

The other families owe money scattered and scattered, and those who can repay it are basically repaid, and those who can't pay it back have also borrowed money to repay it.

Because they all know that if they really want the queen to bite it, it will be light to copy all over the house.

But there are a few, there is really no money, and they can't pay it back at all, so they are stuck there, but fortunately, there is not much money, and Li Xian is a little blind, so he pays it back instead.

Liu Jinyu leaned over to Li Xuan's side and whispered, "King Ze and King Xu are among them. ”

Li Xuan shuddered violently and looked at Liu Jinyu with a face full of disbelief.

Li Shangjin, the king of Ze, was impeached in July of the second year of the last century, was dismissed from office, and placed under house arrest in Lizhou, and the money was naturally not repaid.

King Xu Li Sujie, in the early years of Qianfeng, due to long-term illness, could not gather in the court, demoted the king of Poyang, and settled in Yuanzhou.

The last time Li Xuan saw these two unlucky guys was at the funeral of Emperor Li Hong last year.

Now that I heard the names of these two people again, and they were associated with Li Xian, the whole person couldn't help but shudder.

The initial contradiction between Emperor Li Hong and Empress Wu was that Li Hong found Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng, who were over thirty years old, in the court, and then asked the two half-sisters to marry out of the palace.

The emperor agreed, but Empress Wu was furious and married the two princesses to Yiwei Quanyi and Wang Suigu on the spot.

Now, Li Xian is also paying off the debt for his half-brother, and Li Xuan immediately knows how angry the Empress Wu is this time.

But in the three times he and Empress Wu confronted, none of them saw Empress Wu angry.

For what reason, forcibly suppressed.

……

Prince, Shangshu Zuo Cheng, Zuo Weiwei General, Yushi Zhongcheng.

In the study, Li Xuan displayed a ranking word in front of Liu Jinyu, and then burned it directly in front of her.

Looking at the ashes in front of him, Li Xuan whispered: "Be careful, when your husband is not in Chang'an, you will watch the children at home, don't worry about anything, and don't have too much contact with the East Palace." ”

"The concubine remembered." Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, the battle for the rights of the Empress Wu and the crown prince, this mother and son are fine, but none of the people involved in it have a good end.

After a slight pause, Liu Jinyu followed and asked: "Then General Quan was impeached this time......

"Heavy fines." Li Xuan sighed softly, and then said in a cold voice: "The heavier the punishment, the better, only in this way will Shangshu Zuocheng not be involved, and only in this way will the prince not be involved." ”

"But the queen ......" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan worriedly, the methods of the martial queen were not only like this.

Li Xuan shook his head, looked in the direction of the palace, and said softly: "This matter is the prince's matter after all, this time it is because it has been involved, so I have to intervene, and I don't have to worry about it in the future." ”

Liu Jinyu immediately understood that Li Xuan's involvement in the current matter was more about the emperor's meaning.

The emperor is maintaining the balance of the court.

And Li Xuan is neither the prince's person, nor the Empress Wu's person, he is the emperor's person.

"When will Lang Jun leave Chang'an and return to the army?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

The longer he is in Chang'an, the more likely Li Xuan is to get into a turmoil, so it is better for him to leave Chang'an as soon as possible, but there is the emperor's will, and his daughter Xia Niang is involved, and even Liu Jinyu himself does not want Li Xuan to leave so soon.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand and patted the back of Liu Jinyu's hand, and said softly: "There should be a while, we have to wait for the news of Tubo to come, if nothing else, after the Tubo matter is decided, you can return to the army, as soon as half a month, or as late as a month." ”

"So what if there really is any accident?" Liu Jinyu subconsciously asked

"Then maybe you don't have to go back to the army."

Li Xuan suddenly smiled and hugged Liu Jinyu directly.

The young and beautiful delicate little lady gently bit her red lip......
